NHC-A98E??? I know its track record is near 0 :( but seems safest and more of a chance of recurvature

I don't believe the UKMET has been doing a very good job with Frances so far - it's interesting that the GFDL is so far right of the others. I think they keep the A98 around just for giggles - so if some other model starts mimicing that one, they'll know they are nutso :wink:

Actually, it seems to indicate a threat north of Florida, not a recurvature out to sea. It did show a better chance of missing the U.S. a couple of days ago.

Dr. Steve Lyons on The Weather Channel said that one possibility is for it head towards the Carolinas. I forgot what the other possibility was.

The UKMET did not initialize with the latest storm turn to the left because it is an old run. The actual storm track continues to be left of the models so we may have to wait a few more runs before they decide to point the track over the GOM. The islanders will have to keep checking since Frances is stair stepping WNW, but not gaining near as much latitude as she was.

Frances verification now through 6Z Aug 29:

1. LBAR (still!)
2. NHC (catching up)

UKMET: 9th place ranking.

Overall (12 hrs-96 hrs) the NHC/TPC error is 64 miles (not bad)
The UKMET (12 hrs-96hrs) overall error is 143 miles.

Why is anyone NOT sticking to TPC????

What is interesting is the trend of the majority of the models for a turn to the north. Still, all areas from south Florida north along the southeast coast should be prepared for this 'cane.

64 miles can make all the difference in the world with a track close to the islands. Since Frances is trending left early the models and hence the forecast continues to lag to the right. This is a critical period as Frances changes direction and if the islanders are relying on old outdated information they may not be making the right preparations.
